Monica, any idea how much that unit weighs? 5 cheap bikes easy 150lbs or more combined. Add clothes and what not you are way over the bloated minivan's capacity.
the 3900lbs. appears to be the trailer's factory UVW.
so, adding all the weights of battery, propane, water, bikes and cargo AND subtracting the weights of passengers/cargo in the car, other than a 150lb. driver from the 5200 number, she is going to be near or at max capacity.
but living in Ottawa means no mountains so probably alright.
but any trip in the mountains will burn that poor Traverse out.
